Friggatriskaidekaphobia

Happy Friday the 13th kitties!
Did you know that:
The fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia - "Frigg" is the Norse goddess whom Friday is named after and "triskaidekaphobia" means the fear of "13". It's also known as paraskevidekatriaphobia,
partly from the Greek word Friday. It is a real fear - some people who
have this disorder are even too afraid to say the words “Friday the
13th”. Others avoid flying on a plane, going to work, or even getting
out of bed. According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia
Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, millions of Americans are afraid
of Friday the 13th. Symptoms of this fear range from mild anxiety and a
nagging sense of doom to full-blown panic attacks.

Mummy knew a lady who would never come to work on Friday 13th, but mummy finds the number 13 lucky and fridays are good because its the end of the week. Pawsies crossed for a happy day for everyone :)xx

Mr. Ping, you so handsome and make us all feels better. We think we gots nohandapetsus phobia. That's when your pawrent is standing there, and the hand is just right there, doing nothing when it could be petting! It's terrible, Mr. Ping! You can see the hand just there, empty, not petting, just hanging at your pawrents' side!

Whew, we better calm down, we don't want to scare everybody. :-) You guys don't forget to have more happy!Hugs, love and kitty kisses all around.

Thank goodness we don't have to deal with that! Our mom says 13 is her lucky number cause that was the day she was born. The 13th is also the ides of 8 of the months. The other 4 months the ides fall on the 15th (including March).
